    Check with Louisiana Guns and Reloading on Jefferson Hwy in BR. I think they started doing reloading classes again. I use a Redding Big Boss and it's all I've ever needed. RCBS and Redding dies mostly.

    From what I’ve heard ( I could be wrong) they don’t warranty their products but the Mec is supposed to be really good!
    They have warranty registration on their website. I've not needed to use mine though. Seems to me, a company that's been in the reloading game as long as they have would have a descent warranty.

    The higher quality ammo you reload will bring bigger savings and return faster. It is hard to make just plinking ammo for cheaper but if you load hunting or match ammo you will save a lot more

    Can you purchase Gold Dot G2, HST, Gold Dot, PDX1, Golden Saber, Ranger T 9mm bullets to reload?

    CCI/Speer and Remington sell projectiles to load. I wouldn’t suggest reloading self defense ammo though. Also the margins on common handgun are so small and less savings unless you are loading a lot of rounds

    I do not reload anything. I purchase my ammunition by the case.
